Late Work Policy - from the MMS Student Handbook

Late work will be accepted at Mooresville Middle School with a reduction of points on the assignment. Students have until the Friday before interim reports are sent home to make-up assignments. Once interim reports go home students have one week to turn in work for late credit. If students do not turn in the work by the final late work submission date, they will earn a 0 in the gradebook.

Dates will be communicated to students in class and also via Canvas.

Cell Phone Policy - from the MMS Student Handbook

Cell phone use is not allowed in classrooms during instructional time. Students are to put their cell phones away while in the classroom, unless expressly permitted by the classroom teacher. Consequences will occur if a student is found using their cell phones during instructional time and without permission from their teacher. Please note below the discipline plan with regard to cell phone use as it specifically pertains to the classroom and protected instructional time.

1st Offense - If the phone rings or the student has the phone out in class, they will receive a warning from the teacher. The teacher will then document the warning.

2nd Offense - If the phone goes off again or the student has it out again, the phone will be collected and returned at the end of class. The teacher will document that the phone was collected and will contact home.

3rd Offense - If the phone goes off again or the student has it out again, the phone is taken and turned in to the front office. A parent will be notified that the student can pick it up at the end of the day in the front office. The teacher will document that the phone was turned in. Front office personnel will contact the parent.

4th Offense - If the phone goes off again or the student has it out again, it will become an office referral. The administrator will take the phone and put it in the front office for the remainder of the day and the student will receive ISS. The administrator will contact the parent.
